student learning
 

As a veterinary student, having the opportunity to participate in hands on training as through all four years of veterinary school would allow me to have better clinical skills as a practitioner at the time of graduation.  I believe learning under the supervision of a veterinarian in private practice during breaks in school is a safer and more efficient way to develop strong clinical skills than trying to cram them all in to 4th year clinics and learning on your own on patients after graduation.  I support this legislation as a student as I know the current law has impaired me from developing these clinical skills.
